An API certified shale shaker from Aipu Solids Control incorporates features that set it apart in terms of performance, reliability, and quality assurance. These features are the direct result of designing and manufacturing to API Q1 standards.
Validated Structural Design
The structural frame of an Aipu API certified shale shaker is designed using finite element analysis and validated through physical testing to ensure it withstands millions of vibration cycles without fatigue failure. The frame undergoes post-weld heat treatment to relieve residual stresses that could lead to cracking over time. Critical welds are designed with appropriate safety factors and inspected using non-destructive testing methods. This structural integrity ensures the shaker maintains its dimensional accuracy and vibration characteristics throughout its service life, unlike frames that may distort over time and affect screen seating and vibration balance.
Premium Vibration Motors with Full Traceability
Aipu API certified shakers are equipped with vibrating motors from internationally recognized brands including Ital-Vibras, Martin, and Oli. Each motor carries full traceability documentation including manufacturing date, test results, and serial number. The motors are matched pairs, tested together to verify balanced output, and mounted on precision-machined surfaces that ensure efficient transmission of vibration to the screen deck. This quality of motor and mounting means the shaker delivers consistent G-force and frequency from installation through years of continuous operation.
API-Certified Screen Panels
The screen panels used on Aipu API certified shakers are themselves manufactured to API specifications, with consistent mesh openings verified by testing. Available in both stainless steel and composite frame options, these screens provide predictable separation performance and uniform wear characteristics. The quick-replace design common to all Aipu shakers is complemented by screen panel quality that ensures each replacement screen performs identically to the original, maintaining consistent solids control throughout the drilling program.
Comprehensive Quality Documentation
Every API certified Aipu shale shaker is delivered with a documentation package that includes material certifications for major structural components, inspection and test records from manufacturing, calibration certificates for testing equipment, and a factory acceptance test report. This documentation supports project quality assurance requirements, simplifies regulatory compliance, and provides a permanent record of the equipment’s as-built condition. For operators working in regions with strict equipment certification requirements, this documentation package is often as valuable as the equipment itself.
Designed for Serviceability
Aipu API certified shakers are designed with field maintenance in mind. Clearly marked lubrication points, accessible inspection covers, and standardized fasteners simplify routine maintenance. The screen replacement system allows screen changes in minutes without specialized tools. Motor replacement procedures are documented and designed to be performed with standard rig equipment. This serviceability reduces maintenance downtime and ensures the shaker stays in operation when it is needed most.
